Easter is this Sunday, but here's a heads up if you're waiting to do some holiday shopping: 10 major retailers in Minnesota will be closed on Easter this year.

Across the country and here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, a fairly high percentage of the population will celebrate Easter Sunday. Oberlo research says over 80 percent of Minnesotans will observe Easter this year, with 33 percent celebrating it as a religious holiday, 15 percent as a secular holiday, and 22 percent as a combination of both.

Seeing as Minnesota's population here in 2025 is estimated to be just under 5.8 million, that means roughly 4.7 million Minnesotans will be taking part in celebrating Easter Sunday this year.

Between the festive candy and eggs, Easter ranks among the busiest shopping days of the year and is one that generates billions of dollars in revenue for retailers across the country. But if you're going to be celebrating Easter this year, make sure you get your holiday shopping done before Easter Sunday.

That's because the following major retail stores here in the Bold North have said they will not be opening their doors on Easter Sunday, April 20th, instead giving employees the holiday off to spend with family and friends.

So just which stores won't be open on Easter Sunday this year? According to this AL.com story, here are some of the major retailers that will be closed:

All 37 Minnesota Restaurants that Have Been Featured on the Food Network

Many Minnesota restaurants have been featured on the Food Network over the years. Some have closed now, but I checked out the Food Networks website, the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives website, and TVFoodMaps.com to find all of the Minnesota restaurants that have been featured on their channel in the past and found these 37 (in no particular order) that are still open.
